FR: [Add more highlight color options] #9024

Description

@krillin666

Does your feature request involve difficulty completing a task? Please describe.
I use my Kobo to review a lot of academic papers, as such I rely heavily on highlights to retain the content I've read. However, my workflow involves different types of highlight's colour (yellow, green, red, purple). This is because I use Zotero as my ref manager and use this script to automatically add comments/tasks to my highlights based on the colour of the highlight.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be fruitful if Koreader added the ability to select highlight colour (even in B/W e-ink reader). With this, we could review the PDFs in other devices without being limited to the rather dull gray highlight, which is the default highlight colour that KOreader adds to pdfs.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could manually add a comment to each highlight with the colour I wanted it to be and then on PC check all highlights and convert them to the colour mentioned in the note of that highlight. But, that would be obviously tedious and labour.

Additional context
I've mentioned a specific workflow with Zotero, nevertheless I'm sure many people use highlights of different colour in their workflow. So please comment below if you also find this useful !
